Can you hear the rotor moving when you shake the watch close to your ear ? If not the rotor is stuck.
I had the same on one of my IWCs from ZF. When you open the back you can remove the "Antimagnetic Cover" . It seems its to thick sometimes and makes the rotor stuck.

Same here, the rotor of my 5001 is stuck as well - fortunately I could see that thanks to the open caseback. I hope the watch smith will be able to fix that.

So just remove it and close it back up?

you can make a quick test. Just loosen the caseback a bit and shake the watch , now you should hear the rotor

Yes first time opening a cashback ever since joining the forum. And indeed cover was jamming the rotor. Thx noctus.

[emoji41] a squashball and duck tape. Pretty easy, even for a first-timer.
